How to play

Defeat and remove every monster from all four dungeon stacks, regardless of unused power cards that may remain.

  • Twelve standard picture cards form four three-monster stacks; three power cells receive one card each, a fourth reserve begins empty, and the remaining powers plus two special Jokers form the stock.
  • Attack a visible monster with two power cards: the first must have value plus ten at least equal to the monster rank, and the first two together must reach that rank. A third card defeats it only when matching the monster's suit or acting as a Joker. Power cards may stack in the reserve, and a new three-card power row is dealt only when all power cells are empty.
  • Defeat and remove every monster from all four dungeon stacks, regardless of unused power cards that may remain.

Strategy tips

  • Spend the weakest first two cards that meet a monster's rank, save suit matches for finishing blows, and reserve Jokers for suits that are scarce in upcoming power rows.
  • Reaching the attack total with two cards does not defeat the monster; a separate third finisher of the monster's suit or a Joker is still required.
  • Read the next monster beneath each current target before choosing a finisher, preserving enough matching suits and numeric power for the final stack layers.
